About Mary
Dr. Mary Louise Inzerillo is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) practicing in Pennsylvania with 25 years of experience. She works with adults who are managing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship challenges, and family of origin patterns. She also addresses concerns such as grief, LGBTQ issues, sleep and eating problems, ADHD, and coping with life changes.
Mary Louise uses clear, direct conversation in sessions. She helps people name recurring patterns from their upbringing and notice how those patterns show up now. Sessions focus on practical steps people can try between meetings as well as skills to manage strong emotions and impulse-driven behavior.
Her approach draws from several evidence-based methods. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thinking and shift behaviors. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is offered for people who want to build values-driven action alongside emotion strategies. Attachment-based ideas are woven in to look at relationship roles learned in childhood.
People who bring issues like codependency, communication problems, commitment fears, or abandonment worries will find a focus on how early family roles affect current relationships. Work with grief, caregiver stress, chronic illness, or career pressures often includes coping strategies and behavioral planning.
Sessions emphasize straightforward problem-solving, emotion regulation tools from Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and client-centered listening. Dr. Inzerillo encourages practical experiments and gradual changes rather than quick fixes. Visitors should confirm current session options before booking.
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take action even when strong emotions are present. Online work with ACT often focuses on practical exercises and value-based goal setting that clients can try between meetings. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early family roles shape current relationships and expectations. In online sessions this can mean mapping relationship patterns and practicing new ways of relating in everyday life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing behavior changes; online CBT sessions typically include skill practice and written exercises to use at home.Finding the best approach is part of the work. The therapist and client review needs, goals, and preferences and together decide which methods to use. That collaborative process can shift over time as different skills are introduced and progress is reviewed.
Specific session formats are not listed here, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a weekday break, avoid travel time, or choose a check-in that does not require being on camera. They can also allow for shorter focused check-ins or standard-length sessions depending on scheduling needs and the client’s goals.
